About the American India Foundation: 

Amid the tragic devastation caused by the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister of India Atal Bihari Vajpayee recognized the need for a philanthropy platform that would connect the world’s two largest democracies and provide a trusted bridge for meaningful participation in India’s democratic and economic growth for both Americans and Indians. The American India Foundation (AIF) has since built on this vision and created countless opportunities for India’s poor to live successful, productive lives while creating impactful change at an unprecedented scale, changing the lives of more than 3 million of India’s less fortunate and raising over $118 million dollars. 

AIF mobilizes resources in the United States and India to invest in education, livelihoods, and public health to catalyze social and economic change. AIF has implemented programs through 293 Indian non-governmental organizations in 24 states in India since its inception.
